The intro to I’m a Coward is heavenly. Every time I hear it I get goosebumps. Then the song actually starts and I can’t help but laugh cause Flans just shows up and starts talking about how he’s a loser.

Good people of the TMBG cult fandom, please tell me about your non-standard* favourite** TMBG songs. What are they, and why?

*no actual definition of this. My suggestion would be 'doesn't break the top 10 on TMBW' (would have said 5, but somehow Doctor Worm is currently #6 and I would definitely consider that a standard favourite) but I think it is easier just to say - use your judgement and no one is allowed to yell at you, I just want to know.

**doesn't have to be your #1 song, I don't want anyone's head to combust trying to figure this out. Just one you really, really like and think is under-appreciated.

Honestly anything off of Factory Showroom. It’s always been one of my top three albums (may be from nostalgia, my dad played the cd a lot when I was younger.) I barely hear anyone talk about it!!

This is kind of - just shit posting a little, but GOD is it hard having a hyperfixation/interest in a band and trying to explain it to people.

So much harder than a show cuz it’s not like “hey go watch this show!” It’s like hey yeah the only way you could get it is to listen to these dudes play songs … sorrey!

Oh yeah and I’m so invested in their lyrics, songs, who sang/wrote what, weirdly in their personal lives and how it relates to their music and how it sometimes DOESNT.

How do they interact with other members, how did they get their start? Like I might as well be wearing a sign that says “hey wow I’m not fucking normal” and I’m soo invested in fact I turn around and write fanfiction that’s fantastic news too really.

Any advice on how to explain this to people in a sane way? #thanks to my three followers

get yourself a band that knows the power of horns and brass instruments, that's my recommendation at least

[backinjustfiveminutes]

I am particularly fond of pictures from the early to mid 90s where Flans looks like a pouty tween prince of darkness who's mad because he was forced to wear the outfit that his mom picked out for him.
